Cooking Stove.

HOSEA H. HUNTLEY. OF CINCINNATI, OHIO, ASSIGNOR TO DAVID 'I. WOODROW.

COOKING-STOVE.

Specification of Letters Patent No. 9,359, dated October 26, 1852.

To all whom 'it may concern:

Be it known that I, HOSEA H. HUNTLEY, of the city of Cincinnati, in the county of Hamilton and State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Cooking- Stoves; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings and to the figures and letters of reference marked thereon, the drawing mak ing part ofthis specification.

Similar figures and letters refers to corresponding part of the improved stove. I

Figures 1 and 2, is a perspective view of the stove presenting a longitudinal sect on through one side for the purpose of showing the improved parts, Fig. 3 is a'longltudinal sectional elevation, to one side of the smoke flue, Fig. 4 is a transverse sectional elevation, through the furnace, &c.

To enable others skilled in the art to make and use my invention I will proceed to describe its construction.

Figs. 1, and 2, represent-s the stove in a perspective view, showing the top (0, c, 0, 0) with its covers, &c., and the side (it, h,) and oven doors (f, f,) and furnace or fire doors (cl, (Z, (5) two in front of the stove, and one at the side.

(70, k,) is the front part of the stove below the hearth (e, e).

(m, m) is a molding around the lower edge of bottom plate. (J, J, J) are feet on which it stands.

(0, 0) represents the interior of the ovens.

(a) is the furnace.

(B, B) Fig. 3 represents the passage or flue to the exhaust pipe for the smoke, when the damper (g, 9,) is closed which is effected by means of moving the rod (S) projecting from the side of the stove seen in Figs. 1 and 2.

The admitting of cold air into the stove is effected by means of the openings (2', i) one on each side of the stove as is represented in Fig. 4. The air is made to pass in between the fire plate 6 6 and oven (0). The plate is furnished wit-h three ribs on its under part, (Nos 7, 7, 7) Fig. 4, so as to form flues, which will cause the air to pass over the most of the surface of the fire plate in order to produce an equal temperature over the plate and, on the oven opposite the plate, and effectually heat the air before it passes from the plate to heat the front end of the oven. The hot air passes from under the plate 6 6 then (as is represented by the spears), down into the fiues (1, 1) on each side of the furnace (a) to the front of the oven (0) as is seen 1n Fig. 4; there it descends when it passes to the front of the stove and spreads itself down the flue (2, 2) which heats the front end of the oven, sufficient for all purposes in cooking equally as well as any part of either of the two ovens. The air then passes to the back of the stove through the fines (3, 3,) one on each side of the fire flue (B, B,) in the bottom of the stove and in its passage ascends and fills the drum flue 4 between the two ovens (0, 0). The air then ascends in flues (5, 5,) at the back of the stove, one placed on each side of the fire flue (B, B) and passes out through the damper (g, g,) as is represented in Fig. 1. A portion of the air is supposed to pass out through the fire flue (B, B) at the same time, and if the damper (g, 9) should happen to be closed it all would have to pass through the fire flue in the bottom and back of the stove to effect an escape into the eX- haust pipe.

WVhat I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is Giving the arched fire-plate 6, 6, great elevation above the level of the oven top on which its upper edge rests; and giving great capacity thereby to the chamber formed by the arched fireplate and the oven plate, the underside of the arched fire-plate being furnished with ribs 7, 7 which divide this air chamber into flues transverse the stove, so that the full force of the fire draft is thrown upon the boiler openings and from the top-- plate of the oven, thereby protectingit from a discharge of heat, and so that in concert with the fines around the ovens as described, the air must pass from the openings in the side-plates to the center and thence back to the sides of the stove to the flues leading to the front of the stove, for the purpose of being thrown very thoroughly heated and in great quantity around the front oven, and when the damper is opeiied, around both ovens; it being distinctly understood that I do not claim a fire-plate in itself, nor ribs, for guiding air along a fire-plate, in themselves, but only my mode of pitching the arch of the fire-plate and arranging the air chamber in combination with the fines and damper as described, so as to produce the aforementioned efi'ec HOSEA H. HUNTLEY.
